Let's divide 742417 by 96
We want to figure out the number of times 742417 can be divided by 96.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 96

Moving on to step 2:
The number 96 fits into 74 0 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 742 / 96

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 96 fits into 742 7 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 672 away from 742, we end up with 70.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 704 / 96

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 704 by 96, we get 7 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtracting 672 from 704 leaves us with 32.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 321 / 96

On to step 5:
96 goes into 321 3 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 773.0
Subtracting 288 from 321 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 337 / 96

On to step 6:
If we divide 337 by 96, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7733.0
If we take 288 away from 337, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
96 goes into 490 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7733.5
Subtracting 480 from 490 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 96 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7733.51
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
96 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7733.51
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
96 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7733.5104
If we take 384 away from 400, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 160 by 96, we get 1 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7733.51041
Subtract 96 from 160 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 640 by 96, we get 6 and a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7733.510416
Subtract 576 from 640 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 640 by 96, we get 6 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7733.5104166
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7733.5104166 and a remainder of 6.4e-07.
